I run a carmageddon fansite -
http://dtd.joypadjunkies.net - got news about this from one of the visitors. If it turns out to be true, a new Carmageddon game would really kick ass.
Have to agree on what everyone says here though - the original Carmageddon rocked - we need the dark industrial atmoshpere back, along with the cars, physics and a decent damage model.
